STANDING COMMITTEE ON HEALTH
COMITÉ PERMANENT DE LA SANTÉ
EVIDENCE
[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]
Monday, October 16, 2000
• 1534
[English]
The Clerk of the Committee: Honourable members, you have a quorum.
This is meeting number 29 of the Standing Committee on Health. Your first order of business is to elect a chair. I'm ready to receive a nomination to that effect.
Mr. Bonin.
• 1535
Mr. Raymond Bonin (Nickel Belt, Lib.): I move that Bonnie Brown be elected as the chair.
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: It is unanimous. I declare Bonnie Brown duly elected chair of this committee and invite her to take the chair.
The Chair (Ms. Bonnie Brown (Oakville, Lib.)): Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
We will proceed to item 2 on the agenda, which is the election of the first vice-chair. Are there any nominations? Ms. Meredith.
Ms. Val Meredith (South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, Canadian Alliance): I nominate Jim Jones as first vice-chair.
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: Jim Jones will be the first vice-chair of this committee.
Let's move on to the next item for the second vice-chair. Mr. Bonin.
Mr. Raymond Bonin: I nominate Ovid Jackson.
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: Mr. Jackson will be the other vice-chair of the committee.
Thank you very much.
You have papers in front of you that have been presented to you just today, I believe. It's the first time I've seen them.
Ms. Wasylycia-Leis has put before you three pieces of paper containing three different motions. It requires 48 hours' notice, and this is the notice being given. Forty-eight hours from now would be Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., which is not one of our usual meeting times. The usual meeting times of this committee, for people who are new, like myself, are 9 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, so the first time we could legitimately deal with this would be at 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Did you wish to comment?
Ms. Judy Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North Centre, NDP): Yes. I had submitted these motions 48 hours in advance of this committee meeting, pursuant to the Standing Orders for a committee, which would make them eligible for debate and discussion today.
The Chair: I don't believe that is true, because 48 hours' notice means that there is time for the members to receive it. I don't think the clerk knew where we were at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, this being 3:30 Monday afternoon. So she could not legitimately get us the motions in time to give us time to think about them and be prepared for debate. Therefore, I will rule that we cannot discuss these today, but rather on the first available normal meeting time, which would be Thursday at 9 a.m. So that's when we'll do it.
I don't see any other business on the agenda this afternoon.
Yes, Ms. Guay.
[Translation]
Ms. Monique Guay (Laurentides, BQ): Madam Chair, I move that the committee adjourn.
[English]
The Chair: Is there a seconder for that motion?
An hon. member: Yes.
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: That is the majority. This meeting is adjourned.
